Bigger Is Better!

For the serious rodder, nothing quite compares to a weekend of getting together with a few 100,000 of your "closest" friends and checking out over 6,000 rides of all makes, shapes, and sizes. The Goodguys' event in Columbus, Ohio, is the place where all this action takes place every year, and the latest shindig had all the bells and whistles.

While your own personal tastes may lean heavily toward traditional rods (of which you will see your fair share), you cannot deny the jaw-dropping affect of the killer mega-horsepower street machines that are a big part of the wild weekend. And street machines aren't the only diversion you will find; there are also the best examples of pickups, musclecars, one-offs, and restored beauties you won't find anywhere.

After spending our time on the road on Tom's Fun Run making our way to the event, we ate up the smorgasbord of rides like nobody's business. The hardest part, besides picking what to have for lunch, was picking our favorites to be our Top Ten from the thousands of great rides. Not a bad dilemma to have--and we wouldn't want it any other way! If you haven't been a part of it yet, definitely make plans for the Goodguys' Columbus event in 2006--we already have all our reservations made.
